The work expresses a love that borders on passion and is also understood as painful passion. Souls burn and consume themselves in an interdependence that brings individuals closer together while simultaneously isolating them from everyone and everything else.
The panel is part of the "Un-Perfect" project, which was presented at Paratissima 2024 during Turin Art Week. The complete visual project consists of eight photographs, one triptych and one interactive installation.
The project focuses on the self and the ability to recognise flaws as an integral part of the whole. Recognition is the first step towards making a change, if desired, or accepting oneself as one is.
“Perfect people do not fight, do not lie, do not make mistakes and do not exist”, Aristotle claimed from the heights of his wisdom. Yet in today's society, looking your best seems to have become an inescapable dictate, the only way to gain consideration and acceptance.
It is the result of a primal survival instinct that drives the individual to behave and appear as and better than others in order to fit in.
In a parallel world, Matteo Cervone's traffic light men, with their luminous contours, appear without filters or frills, authentic in their simplicity. Reflecting the light they have within them, they manage to give value to their own originality, and this is enough to identify them to the eye, to make them perfect.
This project focuses on the self and the ability to recognise individual flaws as part of the whole. Recognition is the first step to change, if you wish, or to accept yourself as you are.
